replying off list 'cause I can't get to there from here (work) sorry, addicted yes, I am. I have bilateral hip replacements and even when I could not walk (pre-surgery) I could dance. the music and the rhythm of the dance(walk) made it possible for me to move and exercise. It also gives me the same "runner's high" that I got when I used to jog (years ago). I've been one of the key coordinators for our local dance for over 10 years, just so I can be sure it will be here while I still need to dance. Selfish I know, but what better motivator? I agree with another post that says, smiling. I've rarely met anyone in the line that is not smiling. I smile whilst dancing as well.
I also like the rhythm of the music and the moves, esp. the balance. The cadence of the steps and the notes matching appeals to my sense of order. I am also a fan of flourishes, as long as they are consensual and ON TIME. I'm a bit of a dance snob about that. good luck with your event and all.
